THIS APPEAL, COMING ON FOR ORDERS, THIS DAY, JUDGMENT WAS DELIVERED THEREIN AS UNDER: CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE D K SINGH and HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE T.M.NADAF - 4 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:32920-DB WA No. 1038 of 2025 ORAL JUDGMENT (PER: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE D K SINGH) The present intra Court appeal has been filed by the State impugning the judgment and order dated 18.11.2021 passed in W.P.No.20553/2021 (S-RES), whereby the learned Single Judge has only directed the petitioners/respondents herein to file appropriate representation before the competent authority on disposal of W.A.No.2476/2015, which will have to be considered depending on the outcome of said writ appeal. 2. We see no reason to interfere with the impugned order passed by the learned Single Judge inasmuch as if W.A.No.2476/2015 is decided in favour of the State, the representation has to be rejected. However, if W.A.No.2476/2015 goes against the State, the petitioners/respondents herein would be entitled to the relief as may be granted in W.A.No.2476/2015. 3. We therefore, dismiss this appeal, as the direction given by the learned Single Judge would have no adverse effect on the appellants/State. - 5 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:32920-DB WA No. 1038 of 2025 4. In view of the appeal having been dismissed, pending interlocutory applications, if any do not survive for consideration, hence stand disposed of.
